The Importance Of Proctoring To Integrity

Reputation is something that one holds above their head to keep their good name safe. Everyone has their own reputation that they have made up for themselves in their own mind. Not only have they made one up for themselves but others make one for them too. There are several people in the Crucible who value their reputation over the truth. Having a good reputation on one’s name is good in the small town of Salem. It helps to have a good name because it makes people want to help with business. There were three important people in the Crucible who valued their reputation the most, John Proctor, Abigail Williams, and Parris.

Ethics are the principals that build an individual’s character and integrity. It is the code of conduct that a person lives by; it is the way that a person conducts themselves when no one is around. Stealing, lying, and cheating are wrong, yet every day in the workplace these issues occur. Growing competition lends to the need for people to do what they can to get ahead and stay ahead. Ethics are pushed to the side as people try to gain power or to stay out of trouble, all at the risk of tarnishing their character. This same mindset has spilled over into Academia. A student’s desire to successfully earn a degree by any means necessary has caused educational institutions to address these ethical issues by setting policies in place to combat academic dishonesty.

A tragic hero is someone who makes a bad judgement, or decision, that leads to their own death or destruction. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor is a tragic hero due to his affair with Abigail. As it eventually leads to his death after the witch trials take over the town. At the beginning of the play, John Proctor is a man troubled by the guilt of his adultery, but later when he reveals his traits of integrity and pride he becomes the tragic hero of the play.

The past year has been quite a journey and I have learned and matured greatly over this time. I understand how big of a mistake I made, and I have thought on numerous occasions of how I would keep something like this from happening again if I was once again a student at the University of Alabama. I gained much insight from this event as I now live my life in a different manner and hold myself to higher ethical standards. I plan to live out these standards both inside and outside of the classroom, as I believe academic integrity carries over to more than just school. I hold myself personally accountable for every action that I take, and after everything has happened I know how to conduct myself even when no one is watching. My character has changed over the year and I carry out all of my actions in an honest manner regardless of the situation and these actions will also been shown in an academic setting. I believe honesty is key when following the academic code of conduct and I will be honest in all instances, which includes during the completion of any school work. I have learned that it is better to be honest when doing anything and I am also able to own up to any

Many people can argue that John Proctor was or was not an honorable man. John Proctor was a honorable man, for many different reasons. John Proctor was a man who lived in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. He was married to Elizabeth Proctor. In this time John Proctor showed he was honorable in some ways. Such as him confessing to adultery to try and save his wife and he ripped his confession so he did not blacken his and others in the village names. People can also argue that is is not a honorable man. Because he did not go to church as much as he should have.

In The Crucible, John Proctor the protagonist, becomes a victim of the witch trials when his wife Elizabeth, is accused of witchcraft. In order to free his wife, Proctor must convince Judge Danforth of his wife’s innocence. Judge Danforth does not sign condemnations lightly and takes meticulous inspection of his cases to determine the guilty party. It is because of Danforth’s dedication to the law and the truth that Proctor utilizes ethos and logos to persuade him. However, due to the nature of witchcraft, ethos and logos are not effective arguments and Proctor eventually resorts to pathos to convince Danforth to free his wife.

“How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” said John Proctor, actor in The Crucible. John Proctor is a very passionate man when it comes to his name. He doesn't want his kids and future generations of his name have to have a bad reputation because of the name Proctor. John and I have trait similarities such as being sinners, hard-working human beings, and being proud of the things we do.

When a mother’s child is insulted, her love for her kid becomes apparent as she slowly morphs into an enormous, hairy, sharp toothed, mama bear. She becomes defensive, ready to attack at any moment with claws raised. Arthur Miller, author of the play The Crucible, gives the character, John Proctor, the same aura as a mama bear, or for his sake, a masculine robust bear. Proctor’s dishonesty, hot temper, defensiveness, and integrity help build Miller’s storyline. The argument Miller presents is, even if you make mistakes today, there will always be room for change tomorrow.

Paranoia and fear have always played a significant role in United States society. The witch hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts is in a way, no different from many other panics that have plagued modern society, including the McCarthy era. This was a period during the Cold War where prominent members of society were arbitrarily accused of being communists, including Crucible author, Arthur Miller. The inner dilemma Miller faced when refusing to confess to this false accusation can be seen as a parallel to the conflict Proctor faces during his very similar experience in the Salem Witch Trials. One of the most prominent reasons for Proctor’s conflict with himself is derived from his affair with Abigail, the play’s antagonist. An important conflict in The Crucible is Proctor vs. self because it’s development throughout the play is crucial both to the trials and Proctor’s perception of himself.

In The Crucible the character who could not deal with the loss of their reputation and integrity is John Proctor.

And the wind, God’s icy wind, will blow!” The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, is a screenplay following the life of John Proctor during a dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials. Proctor projects himself as a pillar of the community, a simple farmer with iron-clad morals and a steel will.

Prior to completing the Academic Integrity Program, I thought academic integrity was as simple “not cheating.” I considered it a policy solely implemented to ensure that students learned the material. To me, cheating was mostly plagiarism, or trying to pass off someone else’s work as your own. It was not until I completed the program that I began to understand the long-term effects of cheating on the peers, the professor, and the institution. Now, I understand that cheating affects not just me, but also the other students in my courses and the university’s reputation. I also understand the reasoning behind the university’s strict policies regarding academic integrity violations, as they are in place to protect the student, the classmates,
